Hello all,\r\n\r\n\r\nIm almost done with my Catholic High School Admission form (yay!) but I need a good Cunclusion starter. Anything thats different from:\r\nIn cunclusion,\r\nTo rest my case,\r\nTo finish,\r\nand so on and so forth,\r\n\r\nPlease help!

More than unnecessary, it's potentially insulting to the audience. By stating one of those cliched lines you're basically saying that the reader won't realize you're making a conclusion unless you shove that fact in their face.

Also yes, it's conclusion. I would suggest running a spell check.

Why would you not use a starter? It's good to signal when you want to summarize, restate, strengthen your case, add a final flourish or anecdote, then end off. Arguments need to be structured to add fluidity and coherance after all.

I simply don't see a reason to. If your writing is good enough it should be obvious that you're making a conclusion.

If you're making a point on the importance of restating something or adding to something, I don't see anything wrong with it. I've always felt though that adding "In conclusion" "to finish" "summarizing" or whatever is pointless and annoying. None of my English teachers have ever advised using one of those lines either and most have directly advised against it.

Perhaps. It depends on the style and purpose of writing too I think. If you're writing APA for example and using headers, having a "starter" is definitely pointless as it's already under the "Conclusion" section.

Seems a blunt and abrupt ending, like jumping off a cliff, without one.

Not at all. Think of any given conclusion you've written, if you take out the starting phrase is it still readily apparent that it's a conclusion? I think it flows better when you don't chop off the end of your paper into another segment. It's more like going up a final slope and coming to a stop imo.

For essays, I do use conclusion starters. For papers, no.
